- Struggles with synchronization between two or more teams working on the same project.
Key Concepts:
Strategic DDD, Domain, Subdomain, Bounded Context, Event Storming (ES), Domain Storytelling, Archetype Patterns
Agenda:
- Introduction to DDD at a strategic level
- Business decomposition: Domains and subdomains
- Types of domains
- Conway’s Law
- Deciding what to build vs. what to reuse
- Business Model Archetypes
- Pre-designed business components that can be easily implemented

Tactical Domain-Driven Design (DDD)
Format:
Hands-on coding exercises with pair/group programming.
What problems does it solve?
- How to transform business requirements into code without losing meaning.
- Determining when to reuse code vs. when to duplicate it.
